Details of Fitz And The Tantrums and the Ticket Luck value
Making their debut in 2008 as a phenomenal neo soul and indie pop band, Fitz and the Tantrums quickly found its way to the top. Following the release of their debut album in 2010, Rolling Stone Magazine called them "band to watch". Since their formation the band has been touring tirelessly and in the process have managed a huge fan following. Now the ensemble is promoting their latest release and is on yet another tour. They will also be sharing the stage in some performances with Bruno Mars. Fitz and the Tantrums tickets will treat you to their astounding melodies that are influenced by classic Motown.
Fitz and the Tantrums was formed almost four years ago and was the result of a collaboration between the vocalist Michael Fitzpatrick and James King the saxophonist. Today the band has evolved into a six-piece ensemble. According to Fitzpatrick, the band's formation was a result of few phone calls and one rehearsal. After buying an electronic organ, Fitzpatrick wrote the famous song "Breakin' the Chains of Love" the very same night and shared it with King, who in excitement called up some of his musicians friends and hence, Fitz and the Tantrums was born. The band has been able to make a name for themselves through excessive touring, a lot of hard work and of course, luck. From the very beginning the band members clicked and in their first jam session they were able to create magic. The connection between Michael Fitzpatrick, Joseph Karnes, Jeremy Ruzumna, Noelle Scaggs, John Wicks and James King can be witnessed when they perform on live stage.
The band's debut album titled Picking up the Pieces was released in 2010 and turned out to be a huge success. It made it to the US charts and hit the number one spot on the US Heatseekers charts. Impressed by the sound of their album, critics worldwide praised their approach to neo soul and indie. It was considered a solid effort by the album as they were able to compose music in an ingenious manner. Fitz and the Tantrums second record, More Than Just a Dream came out in May 2013 and has overall received great reviews.
Those who have attended Fitz and the Tantrums live concert claim that the band puts up an incredible show and treat the fans to mind-blowing performance. By attending the band's upcoming concert you can enjoy their hits like, "MoneyGrabber", "Dear Mr. President", "Rich Girls" and "Pickin' Up the Pieces". They will also be rocking the numbers from their latest album which include "Out of My League", "The Walker", "House On Fire", "Spark" and "Break The Walls".
Concerts by Fitz and the Tantrums leave the audience with sore feet as they can't stop dancing to the music that's a spectacular blend of 80s synth pop, indie pop and neo soul. Not only is their performance super energetic but they also share their liveliness with the crowd, who keep the ambiance electrifying. This very reason has always kept the demand of Fitz and the Tantrums high. So what are you waiting for? If you're lucky you still might get some tickets for their latest tour. Anticipated to be a record breaking tour, make sure you're part of it.
Noelle Scaggs and Michael Fitzpatrick from Fitz and The Tantrums are ready to rock your world. The band has achieved immense fame and recognition in the past five years of their career. They've been recording and performing tirelessly for many years now. You can catch their latest live concert by reserving the best Fitz and The Tantrums tickets.
According to Michael Fitzpatrick, the founder of the band, he made five phone calls, met some talented musicians, did one rehearsal and the Fitz and the Tantrums were ready to play a live show. The lead vocalist immediately clicked with singer, Noelle Scaggs, drummer, John Wicks, bassist, Joseph Karnes, saxophonist, James King and keyboardist, Jeremy Ruzumna.
Right after his first ever jam session with a bunch of strangers, Fitzpatrick immediately booked the band's first ever show at Hollywood's Hotel Café. This performance finally made it official for these guys and Fitz and the Tantrums was now an American neo soul/indie pop band. The ensemble is said to be influenced by the classic songs of the Stax and Motown record labels. The founder Michael Fitzpatrick states that, "I want to try and make a big sounding record without guitars." This is something that makes the band fresh, unique and innovative. In order to see how the band sounds without much emphasis on lead guitar, come attend the upcoming Fitz and the Tantrums concert.
In 2010, the group's debut album, Pickin' Up the Pieces finally hit the shelves and took the number one spot on the US Billboard Top Heatseekers album chart. The record did a remarkable business in both the UK and the US and received a positive feedback from many well-known magazines and internet publications including The Guardian, Alternative Press, Q, Allmusic and Spin. Alternative Press stated that, "Sonically and lyrically, this is a pristine, soulful pop resurgence, without a moment of filler." The popular newspaper, Boston Phoenix said, "Fitzpatrick and dynamic co-vocalist Noelle Scaggs inject life and fun into the Tantrums' retro temptations." On the whole, the album was a huge commercial success.
Most of the songs seem strongly inspired by the 60s soul classics and maybe that's what makes it so flawless. A saxophone has been used as a substitute to the guitar which has never done by any band before. No wonder the album produced number of hits such as "MoneyGrabber," "Breakin' the Chains of Love" and "Don't Gotta Work It Out."
After enjoying the success of their first musical project for a number of years, Fitz and the Tantrum finally released their second and the most recent studio album, More Than Just a Dream. The song Out of My League became a hit, once again earning the band repeated praises by number of renowned critics. Rolling Stone, The A.V Club, Paste, Los Angeles Times and many others wrote positive reviews about the album.
Many of Fitz and the Tantrums songs have been featured in a number of TV shows and video games such as Bones, FIFA 13, Desperate Housewives and 24/7 Flyers/Rangers: Road to the NHL Winter Classic. In the past years, the band has been seen performing live at various major platforms including Firefly Music Festival, Basilica Block Party, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, SXSW Festival and Jimmy Kimmel Live!.
After listening to their songs at a tattoo shop, world famous musician, Adam Lavine from Maroon 5 signed Fitz and the Tantrums immediately to open for him on his Back to School concert tour. Besides that, the Tantrums have shared the stage with several other musicians like Flogging Molly, The Specials, Hepcat and many others.
Fitz and the Tantrums are more of live charmers according to many critics. They sound exceptional on stage and always leave the audience impressed with their unique and appealing musical approach. You would not want to miss their upcoming concert so grab your Fitz and The Tantrums tickets as soon as you can.

Shakespeare festival has new executive director
By ICKIE ALDOUS
Of the Ashland Daily Tidings
ASHLAND — Cynthia Rider's new job as Oregon Shakespeare Festival executive director may be to oversee the financial side, but she's no stranger to the stage.
Rider began taking acting classes at age 6, majored in theater while in college and has worked as an actress.
"I started as a performer," she says. "That has been a wonderful thing. I have an all-around view of theater. I understand how much courage it takes to get on stage."
Rider says she wants to make sure that everyone who works to bring a play to life has the resources they need to do the job right.
Rider officially settles into her new role this month. She spent much of December getting a crash course from Paul Nicholson, who spent 33 years with OSF and served as its executive director for 17 years before retiring at the end of 2012.
"He both gave me a sense of the tradition and history at OSF and how that's honored here, but he also told me to never let it curtail you from innovating and doing new things," Rider says.
She says Nicholson left OSF in a strong financial condition.
Before relocating to Ashland with her family, Rider worked as the managing director of the Kansas City Repertory Theatre.
While there, she helped raise $7 million for a second stage and supported the creation of new plays, according to OSF officials.
Rider is married and has one child attending Ashland High School and another in college.
When she first came to OSF, Rider loved seeing how many students attended plays there.
She says most youths can handle plays that some adults think might be too challenging.
"It's great for kids to see something that adults think is a little beyond their comprehension level," she says. "Usually, it never is. There are great conversations that you can have after seeing a play.
"Kids deal with grief and political issues and other topics," she adds. "Theater gives them a chance to talk about it."
Rider says one of the central questions affecting OSF is how to make plays accessible, while also generating enough revenue to fund great work.
Some patrons pay premium prices for tickets or donate money, which helps OSF offer ticket deals to youths, under-served populations and locals, she says.
"We do want people to feel that OSF is their place, whether they see one show or all of them," she says. "OSF does a great job in balancing that."
Challenges ahead for OSF include finding enough space to handle performances, education programs, rehearsals and everything else that takes place at the company, Rider says.
She says OSF is fortunate to have audience members who are so receptive, enthusiastic and intelligent.
Likewise, the theater company's setting in the heart of Ashland is a great asset, Rider says.
"People come because Ashland is charming and the Rogue Valley is phenomenally beautiful," she says.
Earlier in her career, she was the acting director of the Massachusetts Manufacturing Partnership, a coalition of federal, state and private entities that worked to strengthen small and medium-sized manufacturing businesses across the state.
"That gave me a real appreciation for the day-to-day passion and commitment that it takes for small business owners and their employees to succeed," Rider says. "As Ashland and the Rogue Valley go, so goes OSF. Our success is their success."
Alongside OSF Artistic Director Bill Rauch, who has responsibility for the plays, actors and other elements of putting work on stage, Rider says she is honored to have a leadership role at the theater company.
"It's one of the greatest theater companies in the country in one of the most beautiful parts of the country," she says.

Agents. Everybody wants one, but how do you get one? At the risk of repeating myself yet again… preparation is key. What does that mean?
First off, that means get some training. I think a solid theatrical foundation is invaluable. Maybe if you're college age, you can look into a great undergraduate theatre program. Or perhaps you might want to start weekly lessons with an acting or singing coach. ( I continued to study voice for 20 years, taking a lesson once a week without fail!) There are also lots of great classes that offer package deals for ongoing study. I always recommend one-day or weekend workshops with casting directors. These get you in front of professionals whose job it is to remember actors, and their insight is priceless. Whatever form you choose, please, please study!
Along with training you need to start building a resume by gaining experience. Try out for a community theatre show, and if you're under 18 check out the local youth theatre in your area. Contact colleges to find young directors who need talent for their student films. You might sign up for extra work. While you don't necessarily want to make a career out of it, it is experience and it puts you in a setting where you can make contacts. There are also industry sites (and publications) like backstage.com, showbusinessweekly.com or playbill.com that list castings. If you're in a city such as San Francisco, check out sites like bayareacasting.com, or sign up to be in a local casting director's database. I used to tell young actors to get a list of local production companies and send them a photo and resume. You are responsible for the career you want to have, so you have to do your homework.
No training or experience yet? Make sure you have a fabulous headshot that shows your personality. A great photo can often get you in the door (young kids can submit snapshots). Sometimes an agency needs a specific "look" for print work and commercials. Often they are short on a "type," and if your photo crosses their desk, you're in luck! A headshot is your calling card, so get the best professional photo possible. You'll want to attach your resume to the back of your photo when you're ready to submit.
Follow each agency's submission guidelines. Standard procedure is usually to mail a photo and resume along with a short cover letter that tells them a little something about you and your experience (now's a good time to mention if you just got cast in something or have a film coming out). Some agencies accept submissions online.
If an agency is interested in you, then they will call you in for an interview. Be prepared to do a cold reading and have a monologue ready in case they ask for either. Having been on both sides of an agency meeting myself, I want to stress the importance of bringing the real "you" to the interview. Be a real person who can carry on a real conversation. I always tell the story of the time I landed a general interview with a top NYC casting director and we never discussed me or my resume the entire time I was in his office. I mean, wasn't it all about me? We wound up chatting about a painting hanging above his desk and various other things which I can't remember now! But when the conversation turns to you and your resume, be very clear about who you are and where you fit into the business. As an agent I was very impressed with actors who had confidence and a clear sense of who they were and what they could bring to the partnership.
And after all this, you can still walk into a party and coincidentally meet a talent agent who expresses interest in you. But I would just say this: make sure you can deliver the goods when you get the opportunity to interview. Know your stuff.
Oh! And one last thing. You do not get an agent by signing up for thousands of dollars worth of classes and photographs with a company/school that promises you representation. Nothing wrong with paying for training and headshots; that's always your choice. But a legitimate agency will never ask you for money up front for any reason. A legitimate agency gets paid a commission only when you work. So, please, don't fall for we'll make you a star if you just pay X amount of dollars.
So there you have it. Be prepared, be persistent, know who you are, keep a good attitude, and you'll get there!

Suffolk, ss. Division of Administrative Law Appeals
Robert Richardson,
v. Docket No. CR-07-117
Teachers' Retirement System,
Appearance for Petitioner:
Robert S. Catapano-Friedman, Esq.
The Catapano-Friedman Law Firm
50 Franklin Street, 4th floor
Boston, MA 02110
Appearance for Respondent:
Robert G. Fabino, Esq.
Teachers' Retirement System
One Charles Park
Cambridge, MA 02142
Administrative Magistrate:
Maria A. Imparato, Esq.
Robert Richardson filed a timely appeal under G. L. c. 32, s. 16 (4) of the January 25, 2007 decision of the Teachers' Retirement System to grant him 3.0646 years of creditable service for his part-time work at Blackstone Valley Regional Vocational School between October 1977 and March 1982. (Exs. 1, 2, 11) I held a hearing on November 7, 2007 at the office of the Division of Administrative Law Appeals, 98 North Washington Street, Boston. I admitted documents into evidence. (Exs. 1 - 13) I marked the Petitioner's pre-hearing memorandum "A" for identification, and the Respondent's pre-hearing memorandum "B" for identification. The Petitioner testified. There is one tape cassette of the hearing.
1. Robert Richardson, d.o.b. 8/10/1945, worked part-time for the Blackstone Valley Vocational Regional School District (BVRSD) from October 1977 through March 1982.
2. In September 1984 Mr. Richardson became a full-time teacher and established membership in the Teachers' Retirement System. (Ex. 3)
3. During the years that he worked part-time, Mr. Richardson held three positions: Special Education instructor teaching automotive repair and theory in the Optional Vocational Education Program (OVEP); instructor of Adult Education at night; and intermittent substitute teacher. (Ex. 4)
4. Mr. Richardson worked a different number of hours in each week and was paid at a different rate for each of his three positions. (Ex. 4)
5. Under the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) in effect from 1976 to 1979, teachers were required to be in their classrooms from 8 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. with a duty-free lunch period. In the CBAs in effect in 1979 and 1980, teachers were required to be in their classrooms from 7:45 a.m. to 2:45 p.m., with a duty-free lunch period. (Ex. 12)
6. Mr. Richardson's OVEP class met for 3 hours at a time beginning at 2:30 p.m. (Testimony)
7. On June 29, 2001 Mr. Richardson applied to the Board to purchase his part-time non-membership service rendered from October 1977 through March 1982. Based on his documentation, the Board supplied Mr. Richardson with an invoice to purchase a total of 2 years and 7 months of non-membership service, which he did not pay. (Ex. 5, "B")
8. Sometime in 2006 Mr. Richardson submitted his salary stubs, with his earnings and deductions statements from BVRSD, asking the Board to revisit his non-membership service request. (Ex. 6, "B")
9. In light of the new documentation, the Board sent Mr. Richardson a new invoice dated March 30, 2006 to purchase 2.8386 years of service, which Mr. Richardson did not pay. (Ex. 7, "B")
10. At Mr. Richardson's request, the Board sent him another invoice on January 25, 2007 for 2.8386 years of creditable service, with appeal rights. (Exs. 1, 8, "B")
11. Mr. Richardson appealed. (Ex. 2 )
12. By letter of October 29, 2007, Mr. Richardson's counsel forwarded to the Board Mr. Richardson's W-2s for his work with BVRSD from 1977 to 1982. Counsel asked the Board to determine whether Mr. Richardson was eligible to purchase any additional creditable service. (Ex. 9, "B")
13. After review of Mr. Richardson's W-2s, pay stubs, earnings and deductions, and his salary history submitted by BVRSD, the Board determined that Mr. Richardson could purchase a total of 3.0646 years of creditable service for his part-time, pre-membership service at BVRSD from 1977 to 1982. (Ex. 10, "B")
14. Mr. Richardson agrees that if he is not entitled to purchase full-time creditable service for his part-time, non-membership service, he is entitled to purchase 3.0646 years of creditable service for this work. ("A")
The decision of the Teachers' Retirement System is affirmed. Robert Richardson is entitled to purchase 3.0646 years of creditable service for his part-time, non-membership service at Blackstone Valley Vocational Regional High School from October 1977 to March 1982.
The Petitioner is entitled to purchase this service under the provisions of G. L. c. 32, s. 4 (2) (c) that provides that retirement boards may grant creditable service for prior part-time employment rendered by a member in the same governmental unit in which he is currently employed, during such period as he was not eligible for membership, provided that the board has adopted rules and regulations approved by the actuary permitting the board to do so. From 1977 to 1982 the Petitioner was not eligible for membership in the Teachers' Retirement System because he worked less than half-time. He therefore did not meet the definition of "teacher" in G. L. c. 32, s. 1, which requires service "on a basis of not less than half-time …"
The Petitioner argues that he was wrongly excluded from membership in the MTRS in 1977 because the Petitioner asserts that he worked a minimum of three hours per day teaching in OVEP, which constitutes half of a 6-hour teaching day. The Petitioner testified, and signed an affidavit, attesting that he worked 3 hours per day, five days per week, teaching in OVEP. The Petitioner's memory is apparently faulty here, because the documentation from BVRSD indicated that the Petitioner did not regularly work 60 hours per month in OVEP. (3 hours per day, 5 days per week, 4 weeks per month = 60 hours) A close reading of Exhibit 4 demonstrates that the only month in which the Petitioner worked more than 60 hours in OVEP was March 1979. He worked for 11.25 hours in OVEP in November 1977, and no more than 46.75 hours in OVEP in any other month. I decline to look behind the figures provided by BVRSD and rely on the Petitioner's memory from thirty years ago. I conclude that the Petitioner worked less than half-time for BVRSD from 1977 and 1982, and he was not wrongly excluded from membership in the MTRS during those years.
The Petitioner established membership in the MTRS when he became a full-time employee in 1984. The Board has a regulation allowing for the purchase of "Non-Membership Public Service." 807 CMR 3.03 provides that the "Board will allow proportional credit for any period of non-membership service rendered in a Massachusetts governmental unit, the purchase of which is authorized under G. L. c. 32, s. 3 (5) or 4 (2) (c). … Such non-membership service includes, but is not limited to, service as a teacher on a per diem substitute basis or on any other basis that is less than half-time." Under 807 CMR 3.03 (4), this regulation "shall apply to members whose effective date of retirement is after May 24, 2001." The Board calculated proportional credit under this regulation for the Petitioner's period of part-time, non-membership service to be 3.0646 years. The Petitioner agrees that if he is not deemed to have worked half-time as a teacher between 1977 and 1982, 3.0646 is the correct amount of creditable service to which he is entitled.
The decision of the Board is affirmed. The Petitioner is entitled to purchase 3.0646 years of creditable service for his part-time non-membership service rendered between 1977 and 1982.

Imprimis Announces Successful Results from its Pharmacokinetic Study for its Impracor Topical NSAID
Feb 19, 2013, 08:00 EST
SOLANA BEACH, Calif., Feb. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Imprimis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (IMMY:NASDAQ) today announced the completion of a clinical study of Impracor™, a topical analgesic cream that delivers a therapeutic dose of the pain-relieving, anti-inflammatory drug ketoprofen. The study measured the amount of ketoprofen found in the bloodstream following topical application of two different doses of the anti-inflammatory cream under different conditions, including normal activities, heat exposure to the application site and exercising on a treadmill. In addition, the amount of the drug in the bloodstream after taking an oral dose of ketoprofen was studied in 40 healthy volunteers assigned to one of two cohorts (2g or 4g applications). Subjects were dosed according to a four-sequence, four-treatment randomization schedule in which they received topical Impracor applications under each of the three conditions and an oral ketoprofen dose in weekly intervals.
Overall the pharmacokinetic parameters were very consistent between the two different dose cohorts. The application of an occlusive knee bandage with either heat or exercise following topical administration showed faster initial but lower overall plasma exposure of ketoprofen relative to non-occluded topical administration with no heat or exercise. The extent of bioavailability over 48 hours as measured by the Area under the concentration curve from time zero to the time of last measurable concentration (AUC0-t) was 2% or less in Cohort 1 (2 g single dose applied to one knee) and 4% or less in Cohort 2 (2 g single dose applied to each knee) for the topical treatments relative to the oral treatment.
All treatments were well tolerated. The full data presentation will be reserved for upcoming clinical conferences.
Mark L. Baum, Imprimis Chief Executive Officer stated, "I am very pleased with the results of this important study which the FDA has mandated as a part of the clinical development of our Impracor topical NSAID program. This study provides us with greater confidence in the performance of Impracor as we ready our team for our Phase 3 human clinical trials which are being planned to start in a matter of months."
"We are happy with the successful outcome of this FDA recommended pharmacokinetic study comparing blood levels of ketoprofen under different 'real world' conditions," said Dr. Joachim Schupp, Imprimis Chief Medical Officer. "The results are consistent with previous pharmacokinetic findings with Impracor and provide guidance for safe dosing in our upcoming efficacy trials," Dr. Schupp added.
The study was conducted by Novum Pharmaceutical Research Services, based in Pittsburgh, PA, at the in-house clinical research facility in Las Vegas, NV. PPD Laboratories in Middleton, WI performed the analysis of the active drug in the blood samples.

It's more intensive than our other cleaning services and our professional cleaners will banish dust and dirt from every inch of your home leaving it looking amazing and smelling great. So get in touch today and ask for more details on our one-off deep cleaning service and get your free quote.
What Does Our Service for Spring Cleaning in Blackheath offer you?
This affordable service goes much further than many others and is suitable for so many different occasions. Below you'll find the differences between one-off cleaning and regular cleaning so you can see exactly how it'll benefit you:
- Usually you book our professional deep cleaners when more attention is needed. For example if you are moving home, if you've had building works carried out, if you're having a party or cleaning up from one, if you want to refresh your home, etc. Book an appointment on a day that suits you and leave the rest to us. We carry out regular cleaning on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis as you wish and continues until you say otherwise;
- Deep cleaning takes a minimum of 3 hours and can be carried out by 1 or more cleaners depending on what you need doing and the size of your home. We recommend that you call and let us know your requirements so we can tailor a plan and free quote for you. You are allocated a cleaner that comes for a time that you set and as often as you need when you book regular cleaning. Talk to our advisers about what you need doing and they'll let you know how long it'll take;
- For an additional 13 GBP we can supply all equipment and detergents for one-off cleaning. When supplying equipment we ask that a minimum of 2 cleaners be booked for a period of 3 hours each. We can provide professional cleaning detergents at a great price and deliver them directly to your door in time for your first visit from your regular cleaner - all we need you to supply is a vacuum cleaner;
- One-off cleaning in Blackheath is intensive and takes longer than regular cleaning. We ask that you tell us what you would like doing, the results that you expect and describe your property so we can create a personal plan for you. The routine of regular cleaning means that it takes less time to get things looking great, although initially we do ask that you extend your first appointment by 30-60 minutes to allow your cleaner to familiarise them self with you and your home;
- You can use our one-off deep cleaning service to refresh your home a few times a year or if you're moving in or out and even if you are thinking of booking us for regular cleaning and want to try us out first. We can carry out regular cleaning as frequently as you need and are also flexible enough to do it for just a short period of time if you need cover for another cleaner or help in a particularly busy period whether due to work, a new baby, visitors, etc.;
- Neither service has any obligations for you. You can wave goodbye to us once the spring cleaning in Blackheath is finished and you're happy and there is no minimum contract for regular cleaning so we will carry on until you ask us to stop;
- Both services are hourly based and you set this before we start;
- Neither service will cost you extra if you book a weekend or bank holiday appointment;
- Cleaning the exterior of the property isn't included in either service;
- Spring cleaning in SE3 doesn't include laundry and ironing but regular cleaning can as long as the appointment is extended;
- One-off cleaning can be combined with other services such as carpet and oven cleaning. Regular cleaning can include appliance cleaning and carpet vacuuming as standard;
- You can ask for the same deep cleaning team when you book your next appointment. Likewise you'll be allocated a cleaner when you book regular cleaning that will come each time - we kindly ask that you not change the appointment when it can be avoided;
- Both services offer secure key holding so we can get on with the task at hand and let you get on with your day.
One-off cleaning includes: hoovering and mopping; dusting; polishing; lime scale removal; cleaning wardrobes and cupboards inside and out; internal and external window cleaning; intensive bathroom cleaning, including tiles, grout, floor, toilet, sink, etc.; cleaning skirting boards; appliance cleaning (please defrost the freezer beforehand); cleaning doors, handles and light switches; and professional carpet and upholstery cleaning, oven cleaning and more - please call and ask for more details.
Regular cleaning includes: vacuuming and mopping; dusting and polishing; dish-washing; laundry and ironing; tidying and clothes folding; changing bin bags and taking out the rubbish; changing bed sheets; internal window cleaning within reach; cleaning bathroom tiles, floor, sink, WC and mirrors; cleaning skirting boards, doors, door handles and light switches; general clean of kitchen appliances; etc. Please download our cleaning checklist for more details.

Mount Chiliad in GTA III Era
Mount Chiliad is a mountain in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, located in Whetstone, San Andreas. Immediately to the north is the bustling city of San Fierro, while just to the south, at the mountain's base, is the small town of Angel Pine.
The Mount Chiliad name is reused for a similar mountain in Grand Theft Auto V.
Mount Chiliad is one of the largest and most prominent natural features in the San Andreas area, being very much visible from much of Whetstone and San Fierro. Being half a kilometer high, it is also one of the highest features in the state, towering well into the cloud layers of the sky.
The mountain's terrain is largely treacherous with steep rock-faces and high cliffs, and has moderately dense redwood vegetation on leveled terrain up until two-thirds of the way up. Players can still scale the mountain via an extensive number of dirt paths that wind around the mountain and lead to the summit; these features are adapted for use in The Chiliad Challenge mountain biking races, which holds races that run through different routes down the mountain, one of which features North Shore wooden ramps.
The summit consists of a leveled plateau complete with a view platform which offers panoramic views of the landscape below and also features a plaque that can also be used as a ramp to jump off the platform. Although the summit can be reached via a road vehicle, the highest point of the mountain is located further south and may be too steep for certain vehicles to scale.
The mountain also features other minute details, such as a massive natural arch and a single cabin that serves as the hiding place for a witness in "Badlands".
The mountain may be based on Mount Diablo, which is of similar proximity to San Francisco/San Fierro, or Mount Whitney, which is closer to Angel Pine's real-life equivalent Lone Pine. The name "Chiliad" is a term for the number 1,000, mostly used in religious text.
Parked vehicles
- Camper (found near the peak)
- Journey (found near the peak)
- Mesa (at the base and near the entrance of the mountain; appears only when wanted for export)
- Mountain Bike (Found at the base near the entrance to the mountain and also at the summit, which starts The Chiliad Challenge when hopped on during daytime, and at the foot of the mountain).
- Sanchez (at the base and near the entrance of the mountain)
Pickups and collectibles
- A body armor at the summit.
- A Parachute at the summit also.
- A unique stunt jump at a forested area south of the summit.
- Due to its height, planes may collide into the mountain more frequently than any other place in the state.

Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant
Despite its lack of carbon emissions, many environmentalists fear wider adoption of nuclear power. One main concern is where to store all that atomic waste produced by nuclear fission. A group of French scientists aim to allay that particular worry. They're developing a new type of nuclear reactor that burns up nuclear waste, reducing the need for geological repository sites like Yucca Mountain.
The group of scientists is developing the tech for Areva, the world's largest nuclear energy company. The new reactor would immediately burn up actinides, radioactive uranium isotopes. While the tech wouldn't completely eliminate waste, it would greatly reduce it: An Areva spokesperson said that waste from France's 58 reactors over the last 40 years could fit nearly inside an Olympic-sized swimming pool. Scientists claim they've already proven the technology can work inside a lab; now it will take more R&D to get the reactor working on a large scale.
The French project is similar to another reactor being developed at the University of Texas in Austin. Scientists there are working on a hybrid fusion-fission reactor, where waste is held in place around the reactor core and destroyed by firing streams of neutrons at it. Many technical hurdles need to be overcome in order to fully optimize the device, but researchers are hopeful that once perfected, it could reduce nuclear waste by 99 percent!
Even with these new reactors and significantly reduced atomic waste, nuclear power will likely remain controversial. After all, uranium mining wreaks havoc on the environment, and safety issues with nuclear power production abound. Still, reducing atomic waste by 99 percent would be a hugely amazing feat. It might just be the innovation that gets some environmentalists to warm to the idea of greater reliance on nuclear power.

TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Sara Schafer Top Producer Editor Email Universities prepare the next generation of farm business managers Nothing beats real-world experience when it comes to farming, but much can be gained by earning a degree in a related field. Universities are going beyond production agriculture to help students master business and marketing, priming them to be outstanding farmers. Below are a few spotlights. Iowa State University Students aiming for a career in production agriculture at ISU have the ultimate laboratory. They are given control of the AgEdS 450 Farm, a 1,500-acre working farm. Dustin Perry, teaching assistant for the course, says the students who take the class each semester are split into eight committees, ranging from marketing to machinery to public relations. They meet weekly and spend several hours on the farm. "Students leave the class with critical thinking, decision-making and problem-solving skills," he says. "The class is a good balance between actually operating the farm and managing it." Greg Vogel, AgEdS 450 Farm operator, says the students choose which crops to grow and livestock to raise, but they must research the value potential of each option. University of Missouri Many times, the addition of a new generation leads to a farm's downfall, says Kevin Moore, ag economics associate professor at the University of Missouri. Moore is the instructor for MU's Returning to the Farm course, which helps students address the financial, physical and emotional issues of joining the family farm. Students who take the course analyze the financial side of their home operations. "Students can do deep dives into management decisions such as how much they can afford to pay for land or if they should add a new enterprise." Then, their families and other business partners attend a week-end workshop where they address estate planning, personality types, current farm outlooks and other important issues. The final component is a written business plan. University of Nebraska By the time students reach Larry Van Tassell's advanced farm and ranch management course, the focus has shifted from economic theories to actual application. "Our students learn economic and accounting concepts," says Van Tassell, Agricultural Economics department head. "But, they don't easily connect the dots—that's what we're trying to do with this class. We want students to feel comfortable enough with these analytical and management decision tools to use them on their home operation." Students in this course develop management plans for their own operations. "It creates a lot of excitement for the students and parents to be able to sit down and generate the numbers needed to make good management decisions," he says. Back to news

Dale Couch, who has been on leave since August, was the subject of a criminal and internal investigation
A Manatee County Sheriff's lieutenant was arrested Thursday and charged with three counts of lewd and lascivious molestation on a child. The arrest on felony charges followed a long criminal and internal investigation that began last summer, Sheriff Brad Steube said.
The three charges against the lieutenant, Dale Couch, are for crimes alleged to have occurred against two children between 2009 and 2012.
Last July, the Sheriff's Office received information from the children's mother about possible criminal acts by Couch, 50, involving inappropriate touching of a juvenile.
The two children involved in the case were 9 and 12 at the time.
The morning the allegations surfaced Couch was at home, off-duty. He became "enraged," hitting a door several times until he broke it off its hinges, according to the investigative report.
Couch, a 20-year veteran of the department, was placed on administrative leave in August pending the outcome of criminal and internal investigations.
Multiple people were interviewed about the allegations, including Couch, the alleged victims and their mother, a young sibling, and others with potential knowledge about Couch's past behavior. Couch denied all of the allegations, which include a claim that he inappropriately touched one child on multiple occasions as she sat on his lap.
Couch worried that the allegations would "destroy his career," one interviewee told detectives, according to the internal affairs report.
After the investigation by the Sheriff's Office and the State Attorney's Office, prosecutors decided in November that charges would not be filed. Citing insubstantial evidence and no history of such allegations or a confession, prosecutors closed the case.
Couch was on routine suspension and returned to work after that.
But on March 25, the Sheriff's Office received additional information in connection with the case. The inquiry was reopened, Couch was suspended again, and the new information was forwarded to the state attorney. After reviewing the evidence, prosecutors decided that charges should be filed, signing the final paperwork this week.
Lewd and lascivious molestation of a victim under the age of 12 is a crime that could carry a sentence up to life in prison if Couch is convicted.
The Sheriff's Office proposed terminating Couch, but under state law he has a right to a hearing, set for next week. Until that time, Couch will be suspended without pay.
The Sheriff's Office says the investigation is ongoing.
"It was a very disturbing day, with the arrest of one of our own on some very serious charges," Sheriff Steube said. Although Steube was not involved with the investigation, he was aware of it.
Steube said Couch was arrested without incident at the Sheriff's Office. He was being held Thursday without bond, according to court documents.
Couch has been the subject of four internal affairs investigations since he joined the agency in 1993.
Two of the previous investigations concluded that the allegations against him were "not sustained." Couch was exonerated in the other inquiries.
For Couch, the Sheriff's Office is a family business, with a former wife and an adult daughter employed at the county jail and his brother a former captain.
In March, Couch's brother, Capt. Ron Couch, opted to retire after 28 years following an internal affairs investigation that concluded he drew his pistol and pointed it at a lieutenant who startled him in his office.
He also admitted that he had punched two subordinates who had similarly startled him.
Internal affairs investigators found that Ron Couch had violated two general orders: endangering through neglect, and failing to adhere to general orders.
The Sheriff's Office conducted a separate criminal investigation to determine if Ron Couch had committed a crime for improper exhibition of a dangerous weapon or firearm. The state attorney reviewed the case and declined to prosecute after speaking with the alleged victim.
EARLIER: Manatee County sheriff's Lt. Dale Couch was arrested today after a long criminal and internal investigation that began last summer, Sheriff Brad Steube has confirmed.
Couch was put on administrative leave in August, pending the outcome of both criminal and internal investigations, Steube said then.
Steube said more information would be released today.
Couch was also the subject of four internal affairs investigations since he joined the agency in 1993.
Two of the previous investigations concluded that the allegations against him were "not sustained." Couch was exonerated by the other inquiries.

This exhaust came very well packaged , I found it fairly easy to install with good instructions that explained the installation well be careful to read and understand them beforehand ! The end result was well worth the money , the seat of the pants performance over my stock exhaust made me smile and the sound was louder but not to the point that neighbors would complain or noise police would notice !
I ordered my 2 in 1 Pro Pipe from J & P Cycles on a Tuesday and received it in two days. The system was expertly packaged with foam covering all the chrome components. The instructions explained the installation in detail making the job easier than I thought it would be. The chrome looks very nice and the sound is just outstanding. I can't wait to get it on the road this spring. It's going to be a long winter!
This Vance and Hines product is simply outstanding! I purchased this exhaust along with a V&H air cleaner and V&H fuel mapping system. The fit and finish is excellent and I like the understated V&H emblem on the end of the exhaust. The sound of the exhaust indicates a Harley is coming but is more muted and difficult to categorize as to what type of Harley it is. The fit removes the problem of getting to the rear master cylinder and cleans up the entire look of my machine. Definitely worth the price and assembly time.
Love the sound and the nods that I get from other riders
Great fit, great look, great performance!
The pipes are great and the chrome is awesome but the placement of the worm clamps for the heat shields will make you go insane.
The pipe sounds awesome. Easy installation and the site recommended the proper hardware. Very easy and great experience
Great price, fast shipping, and arrived in excellent condition!
Horrible pipe quality - lines of machine markings up and down the length of both pipes, welds have lengths of welding-wire protruding, etc. The heat shields cover up all this eyesore, but I have concern over the longevity of the pipes themselves. At least they sound pretty good.
One of the very best systems out there. Install with upgraded intake and V&H fuel system and see for yourself.
This product is well worth the price if you want to improve your stock Harley. Compared to a big bore kit and the added down time. This pipe rocks it!!!
Sounds awesome on my 2012 Street Glide
I also fitted V&H throttle system,VO2 air kit,V&H fuelpak. This set up was easy to install and tune. No special tools needed.Made a huge boost in performance on my 2010 street glide! I still cant get the grin off my face! I live in Australia and it only took five days to get my order delivered. THankyou J&P.
Good quality, great price, fast delivery. Really made my Road King come alive
Easy to install and vastly improves the performance of the bike.
Ive run almost all the header systems, and in my opinion, this system is the best ive ever seen. Looks, sound, increased performance, it has it all. Add a fuelpak and breather, and you will absolutely be amazed.
This was the only place we could find the exhaust. Even our local Harley dealer couldn't get one until the end of September. Amazing price and delivered quickly! Looking forward to future purchases!
Installed pipes and would recommend to all who want two into one system. Instruction were wrong on one bracket, but worked out in field.
sound is perfect install very easy took me about an 2 hours to do. Would recommend getting a set of ratchet wrenches before you start the mounting bolts by the transmission cover are a real pain in the a$$ if you don't have a set of those wrenches.
I installed myself. Everything came out great. Great sound, with FP3 and Big Sucker combo, you can't go wrong. Easy flash of ECM with me Android phone. No decel pops, runs great and pulls like a train!
Can't tune out deceleration popping. 2010 FLHR, V&H Fuel Pak, Ness Stage 1 big sucker. V&Hs gave me a couple revised codes that helped but said "that's the price of a free flowing exhaust". Baloney.
As usuall my order came when they said. My new Pro Pipe fit perfect,sounds great. I am a Happy Camper!
Adding more power, starts with more air...Vance and Hines is the number one choice for Harley-Davidson...knew I was going to have this exhaust before adding the big bore kit and heads...this is my third exhaust from Vance and Hines for my third Harley..Always quality, always performance ! Bonus...the best looking exhaust out there also !
Vance and Hines quality has headed south. I had to order the pipes twice. The first set had the transmission bracket bent backwards. I explained this to J&P and submitted photos. They put me in direct contact with V&H who said first submit the photos, then the invoice, then the warranty dept would get involved. Since the pipes were less than 24 hours old and not willing to jump through these hoops I sent them back to J&P and reordered. The second set fit as they should, however the rear pipe heatshield has rust on the chrome where a clamp retainer is located. Poor QA. Poor service from V&H. This is my third Ultra Limited in 5 years, and my last set oh V&H. Great support from J&P though.
I ordered this exhaust late on Wednesday and received a notification the next morning that it shipped later that night when I ordered it. I was extremely pleased to find the package at my door step Friday mid day when I went home for lunch. I could not wait to get it installed so I did it my self so I could take my bike in Sat morning to get her on the dyno and dialed in. The exhaust sounds amazing!!! not too loud to where I can't hear the radio and just enough snort to make my 2015 street sound like a Harley again. This is the third V&H exhaust I have owned. I have had some type of V&H exhaust on all my Harley's and I couldn't be happier.
Excellent chrome appearance and well built. Installation instructions need to be a little clearer on a few steps. Excellent overall.
This Pro Pipe is perfect for my bike. It fits perfect, looks Purdy, and sounds awesome! I've ordered many parts from J&P because they are the best online company to work with. I ordered on Monday and received package on Tues with free ground shipping, not expedited. I get all my parts from J&P.
This pipe sound fantastic. However, I ride a lot of miles and the baffles rattle to pieces internally and I keep losing the baffle screws regardless of tape, lock washers, loc-tite, etc. If you ride your bike only a few thousand miles a year then you'll love this pipe. But if you love to ride this pipe is nothing but a headache.
The packaging was great. Order was delivered 3 days after placement. Installation is very easy. Now - performance - the sound quality over my previous V&H slip-no is incredible. This exhaust is deep, throaty, and deliveres great sound. From a stop acceleration is noticeable, but the roll-on acceleration when already at speed is phenomenal. Highly recommend this exhaust.
these pipes sound so good on my 09 FLHX, and the power has increased somewhat, with adding a Ness stage 1 kit, next is a HD supertuner kit.
Bought these pipes & a FuelPak for my 09 FLHX. Installation was quick easy. Fit & Finish was Great! Performance & sound was above expectations. Now my wife wants a set of V&H pipes & a FuelPak for her bike :-) I would buy this again!
The Vance & hines makes great power but wife thinks it's a little loud.
I had a Pro Pipe on my last Harley. Initially I went with a well known "true dual" system on my new bike. It looked good but performance didn't match up with the 2 into 1 Pro Pipe.
Shipped same day.
Looks great on my 08 ultra and performs fantastic. Simple to install.
Great sound, easy to follow direction. Took more time to take off my old system than to put on the V & H 2into1 pipes. So far very pleased with my purchase.
this 2-into-1 exhaust really dresses up the bike and sounds even better than the original dual exhaust. Vance and Hines rock.
Has a great sound, adds a little gitty up and go!
Looks and sound is great but on my 2001 road glide the position of the back pipe makes it real difficult to remove and replace the transmission fill plug, to check the fluid level. Am I the first to experirnce this.
Awesome exhust system, good throaty sound when accelerating and quiet at cruze. Bike has a snappier response, and runs a bit cooler, and right but cheek doesn't get as hot as stock when riding.
great sound, easy install and fast shipping
Excellent sound, looks and performance
Plan on a Saturday installation or a couple of weekday evenings if you don't read the instructions. Instructions were hard to follow and I am a retired pilot with maintenance background...abet, I have been out of touch with the maintenance side for 20+ years. Could not give a 5 due to instruction sheets not being clear nor pictures legible...
LOVE IT! Great sound. Not too loud while cruising, but it wakes up when you crack the throttle. Install took me about 3 hours total including installing & programming the fuel pack. (Make sure you have the correct TORX bits before you start)
Part no 0934-1882 exhaust port gasket kit is not available in box , and not mention In your check list But required this part for proper fitment ,
awesme packaging and quick oversea delivery to india , reached me 2 days ahead of proposed delivery date
Super fast delivery. Love these pipes!
This pipe has good sound and looks good on my 12 wide glide. Vance and Hines did a good job on the pro pipe.
great deep sound , and look good
great deep sound and look good
Came in a reasonable amount of time and these pipes are awesome! I was worried that it wouldn't be as loud as I wanted but boy was I wrong! No need to take baffles out here! And with the Vance & Hines Fuelpak, the throttle response and pickup is definitely noticeably better than stock. Must buy!
They look and sound great.
Great product and fast delivery!! Thanks!
Really nice look and sound. Only problem is that mine had several very small dings that your could only really see if you put your eye to it and looked down the shields and muffler. You can't see them from a standing positiion but they are there. Instructions aren't perfect, but adequate with patience. Again, I really enjoyed the deep sound and overall look.
Love the sound and power from this thing!
Love the sound and power from this thing!
pro pipe with competition baffle i now have a new bike. I'm sure my fuel mileage improved but i can keep right hand from rolling back. 0 to 80 is quick . don't forget vance and hines fuel pack to remap your fuel injection
I did not purchase this VH exhaust from J&P. I have made other purchases from J&P all with five star service. Let me get to the exhaust. Installed pipes, S&S cams and air cleaner had it dyno tuned with 97HP and 103 torque results. Enough power for me; big smile. The problem is the front pipes cylinder head flange has cracked twice!! Had it welded twice. Love the power, look and sound. VH is synonymous with HD performance. But their quality assures me I will never purchase a VH product again.
DO NOT BUY THIS CRAP. I have had welds break on both sets of headers V&H has sent to me. I have had the baffle fall out on the highway. The pipe comes off about 8 inches off the right side of the bike, seriously restricting you ability to lean on right turns. The heat shields have terrible lines and do not close up properly. I will say the pipe sounds just fine but it seems that V&H just has horrible build quality and customer service.
very well built .the finish is amazing .sounds outstanding . Read the instructions step by step and will not have any issues. I would replace the spring steel clips for the head pipe
I replaced some after market "slip ons" with the Pro Pipe. The fit and finish is excellent, installation was easy as well. This Pro Pipe and a Vance and Hines FP-3 made my '17 Road Glide come to life. I am very pleased.
J&P Cycles customer service can not be beat! Mike (via phone) addressed my issue and directed me to a better product.
I received my Vance & Hines pipes in just a few days after ordering! I couldn't wait to put them on the directions were simple and in about a hour installation was complete. I fired up my baby and WOW the sound was wonderful. I took her for a ride and with these Pro Pipes I have more power and they look GREAT on my Baby. Thank You J&P Cycles and Vance & Hines.
sounds awesome! Just what I was looking for

Special to the Times
Legislation sponsored by state Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi to freeze school property taxes for senior citizens will be one of the first bills to be debated when state lawmakers return from summer recess later this year.
Pileggi, R-9 of Chester, wants to freeze property taxes for homeowners age 65 and older. His bill, Senate Bill 299, is known as the Taxpayer Relief Act, but it does not specifically address ways to pay for the freeze. One possibility mentioned by Pileggi is legalizing keno-style lottery games. Keno is an electronic numbers game.
�There has been a concern recently about the impact of increasing property taxes on senior citizens,� Pileggi said. �This presents an alternative that is achievable and the concept is sound. It simply comes down to finding the necessary revenue.�
According to Pileggi�s estimates, it will cost the state $76.1 million to implement a senior citizen property tax freeze in the first year, and $347.2 million by the fifth year.
Pileggi�s bill already has 28 sponsors � including several Democrats � in the 50-member Senate. Under Pileggi�s proposal, married couples would be covered even if one spouse in younger than 65, or when the spouse older than 65 dies.
Even if Pileggi�s bill passes both House and Senate, Gov. Tom Corbett has stated he will not support it unless it is revenue neutral � that is, it can pay for itself.
Revenue from small games of chance is a potential source of revenue and shares of ever-growing casino tax funds is another source, Pileggi maintains. The state has 12 licensed casinos.
�Seniors are facing a crunch right now and they need relief,� Pileggi said. �I�ve got tremendous support from seniors.�
Jerry Shesney of Warminster, a leading advocate of property tax relief for senior citizens, said he has collected 10,000 signatures statewide supporting a property tax freeze for senior citizens.
�We want to get this on the floor for a vote,� he said. �I dare them (lawmakers) to vote against it. Everybody wants to put this kind of legislation through, but nobody does anything.�
Shesney has circulated petitions to senior centers in Chester, Bucks and Montgomery counties seeking support for senior property tax relief.
Shesney said lawmakers can find ways to supplant the revenue lost.
�They always find the money for pet projects,� he said of lawmakers. �It�s just a matter of priorities. We have 10,000 people in Pennsylvania who are losing their homes every year because they can�t pay the property taxes anymore. We�re trying to encourage seniors to make a little noise.�
Richard Chevrefils, state director for The American Association of Retired People, said the AARP has not taken a position on Pileggi�s proposed bill.
�The bill ... requires the state to compensate local taxing authorities for lost revenue lost to such a freeze, but gives no indication how that compensation should be funded,� Chevrefils said in a letter to AARP members. �Until that determination is made, AARP cannot endorse the legislation.�

Food is the centerpiece of the Thanksgiving holiday, but as farm families across the country sit down to Thanksgiving dinner, the smaller portions federally imposed on school cafeterias are causing frustration rather than gratitude for many school kids and their parents.
HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Food is the centerpiece of the Thanksgiving holiday, but as farm families across the country sit down to Thanksgiving dinner, the smaller portions federally imposed on school cafeterias are causing frustration rather than gratitude for many school kids and their parents.
Revised school lunch standards that went into effect this fall have generated a backlash nationwide, especially in rural schools where students are often involved in athletic programs, have physical chores to do after school and have few if any choices nearby for buying supplemental food.
Teachers and students at Wallace County High School in Sharon Springs, Kan., were inspired by the parody video made by brothers Greg, Nathan and Kendal Peterson of Assaria, Kan., and decided to produce their own (called "We Are Hungry") to protest the leaner portions. More than a million hits later, that video has "gone viral," following in the footsteps of the "I'm Farming and I Grow It" video made by the Petersons.
"After we were featured on the Drudge Report, our views went up astronomically, and every major newspaper in the world was calling us, in our little town of 800 people, all through the power of social media," said Linda O'Connor, an English teacher who helped write the lyrics and spoke recently at the Kansas Cattlemen's Association annual convention in Hutchinson.
Hunger free?
The irony of the so-called Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 is that many active kids are saying the reduced entrees aren't enough to fill them up. When they don't get meat and healthy starches in adequate quantities, hungry kids are apt to tank up on snack food, parents and teachers say.
The biggest protest, far and wide, is that the strict "one-size-fits-all" standards designed to combat childhood obesity are simply too limiting for active students.
"It's like feeding all of your cows the same ration," said Grace Hammer, one of the Wallace County students who also spoke at the Kansas Cattlemen's convention. "It's too narrow of a policy."
Lunches are now restricted to 850 total calories per meal for high schoolers with no more than 12 ounces of protein and 5 servings of milk per week.
Only skim or 2 percent milk is permitted. In places like Sharon Springs, where neighboring stores and restaurants are scarce, students involved with after-school practices might spend more than 12 hours at a time on-site, they say.
"The corner store is flourishing," said R. J. Dewees, who plays "lunch policy guy" ("the most hated man in Wallace County") in the parody video.
Students and teachers question whether the meals are actually more nutritious. In order to have access to whole milk, for example, Clay Schemm, another Wallace County farm kid, said he and Callahan Grund — a fellow football player and the video's star — are now forced to "bring our own milk to school and keep it in a refrigerator."
A few chicken nuggets make up the typical entrée, which is designed to put more emphasis on leaner meats. "I'd rather be eating a steak than a chicken nugget," Schemm said.
"In our lunches, we seem to be getting a lot of empty carbs now," Dewees added.
First Lady Michelle Obama appears in her own online video, enthusing about the new standards and touting the benefits of items like garbanzo beans.
Hammer wasn't impressed. "We don't grow garbanzo beans around here, so it's all canned, which isn't healthy anyway," she said.
David Schemm, who is on the school board and is a member of the Kansas Association of Wheat Growers, said students like his son Clay need twice as much food as they are getting and was happy when he heard about their plans to make a protest video. "They get a fixed lunch every day, and they eat the school lunch as well," he said.
Brenda Kirkham, another teacher who helped produce the video, got the social media protest going after becoming alarmed that there was no meat in the marinara sauce. She was told it was because the cheese in the breadsticks pushed the meal to the protein limit under the new standards. She snapped a picture of her paltry-looking lunch tray and posted it on Facebook, where it inspired outraged responses.
She and O'Connor then decided to help students make the parody video. "It was a fun creative process to go through," Kirkham said.
No quick solution
Debbie Lyons-Blythe, a farm mom and award-winning blogger at Life on a Kansas Cattle Ranch, wrote her own post about the controversy. The new standards have created a nightmare of paperwork for school cooks, she said, adding that nearby White City schools have always done an excellent job of making nutritious home-style meals.
"Our recipes are so good other schools are being encouraged to use them across the state," she said by phone. "My kids actually look forward to school lunch. I think many rural schools are offering a good lunch."
It's easier for small districts to cook from scratch and rely less on heat-and-serve products, she added. Her local district feeds 250 students daily compared to 84,000 in the Denver Public Schools.
On her blog, she urged concerned readers to write letters to Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack and his undersecretary of food and nutrition services, Kevin Concannon.
But talking with her more recently, she seemed resigned to the new standards.
"I have received a letter back from them, outlining why this program is working for the larger cities, but it didn't give me any indication that they would be interested in changing it," she said. "The only answer they can give me is that I have to provide my kids with a snack, so I send something with them that they can keep at their locker."
She worries about the parents who won't, or can't, do that.
While she likes living in a place "with more cows than people," she also realizes it's harder to get the ear of federal officials. Several Republican House members from largely rural districts have expressed their opposition to the school lunch changes, including Tim Huelskamp of Kansas, Steve King of Iowa and Kristi Noem of South Dakota.
Lyons-Blythe, who was named Monsanto's Farm Mom of the Year for 2012, is thrilled by the success of the Wallace County video and hopes the students don't get discouraged if they have a hard time making their points in the mainstream media or if federal officials won't budge.
"I think the video was a real positive thing," she said.

The Foundling
Mary Gauthier (Razor and Tie, 2010)
Singer-songwriter extraordinaire Mary Gauthier ("go-shay") has a voice like a rusty string on a slide guitar. But that never held Bob Dylan back, and in Gauthier's musical vision, pretty is hardly the point.
That same jarring, unvarnished quality runs through her lyrics. A recovering alcoholic, early in her career Gauthier laid her disease on the line with a song that proclaimed, "fish swim, birds fly . . . I drink."
At the center of many of Gauthier's best songs is her harrowing life story, a tale that makes some recent recovery memoirs sound like Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm. At 15 she stole the family car, ran away, and spent the next 20 years drunk, high, and/or institutionalized. But on this new album she cuts to the painful, bleeding core of her biography and turns it into a jewel of poetic narrative, with accordions and fiddles on the side.
Gauthier was the foundling of the album's title. As a newborn she was left on the steps of St. Vincent's Infants Home in New Orleans to be adopted into a family dominated by a raging alcoholic father.
But she says a sense of not-belonging dogged her from childhood and well into her sober years. Recently she tracked down her birth mother and called her up, receiving a painful brush-off that is transcribed in The Foundling's central song, "March 11, 1962" (Gauthier's birthdate).
Gauthier's artistic template for The Foundling was Willie Nelson's 1975 album, Red Headed Stranger. Like that classic, The Foundling features consistent instrumentation and repeated musical themes (including two "Interludes" and a "Coda") that lend coherence to the narrative. It suffers for the lack of Nelson's pipes and mad-genius guitar work, but The Foundling's emotional wallop far outstrips the model.
But Gauthier's tale is never played for bathos. Indeed, her matter-of-fact, off-handed restraint, which makes the tragedy so disturbing, also renders credible "The Orphan King's" affirmation: "I still believe in love."

Colorful fall foliage is one of the characteristic signs of autumn throughout much of the eastern United States, and sugar maples, with their brilliant orange and red leaf colors, are one of the signature trees. Acid rain is threatening to reduce the number of sugar maples in our forests, alter the forest ecosystem, impact the maple sugar industry, and reduce the colorful fall brilliance. Although pollution controls since the 1960s have reduced the amount of sulfuric acid in the atmosphere, the amount of nitric acid from automobile pollution has not decreased. This has resulted in highly acidic forest soils.
Researchers at Cornell University investigated the influence of acid soils on sugar maple growth. Because nitric acid and sulfuric acid leach calcium -- an essential plant nutrient -- from the soil, in 1999 the researchers added calcium to a sugar maple test plot at their research facility in North Woodstock, New Hampshire, to replicate the soil conditions that existed 25 years ago, prior to the acid rain era. Every year since then, sugar maple growth in the test plot and in a similar, non-treated plot has been evaluated.
Within a few years the acidity in the top levels of the soil on the calcium-treated plot had neutralized. The sugar maples' response was better seed production, seedling germination, and root growth. Adult sugar maples in the untreated plot continued to decline and produced fewer seedlings.
This research suggests that highly acidic soils resulting from nitric acid pollution are creating a soil environment that's harmful to sugar maple growth and reproduction.
For more information on this research, go to: Cornell University.

Most of the time life does not flow according to our will and plans. There would always be some errors that apparently occur that we least expected. Emergency situation is one of those errors that we cannot avoid no matter how well we keep our finances. That is why most people who come across this situation opt to apply for instant cash. Cash loan is a type of loan available during financial emergency.
Although lending money from banks is also ideal but if you are in great need of cash to cover up emergency situation this option is not applicable. Likewise, when borrowing money from banks you need to comply first to the numerous requirements before your loan request is processed. Also, you have to answer unnecessary questions regarding your personal information as well as your credit history. This would mean delay in resolving the unforeseen expenses that requires immediate solution.
Fortunately, when you apply for cash loan it will not require you to submit piles of documents and answer numerous questions. Instead, you just need to comply the simple criteria to qualify the loan. Having a regular monthly income as well as existing checking account is all it takes to qualify for this type of loan. Likewise, the application is very easy and convenient as you can apply for it even in the comfort of your home over the internet.
Moreover, the good thing about this loan scheme is that you need not wait for long hours for the processing and approval of your loan request. As long as you provide the lender the correct information, your application will be approved immediately. In this case, you can have at hand the desired amount of money within a few hours after you submitted your loan application. The loan amount is transferred electronically in your checking account so you need not visit their office to claim the money.
On the other hand, in getting cash loan you should expect that the interest rate is quite higher as compared to other loan scheme. Yet, it is compensated by the convenience and speedy release of the fund. In this sense, before you sign up the agreement you should determine the amount of loan you are able to repay. This way would spare you from getting into a situation that would only exacerbate your financial restraints. Make sure that when you obtain cash loan it will not harm the other mandatory household finances.a
